As some of you know, I met Libba Bray during the Frankfurt Book Fair in October (see here for more info and picture) and she was super sweet to sign her entire Gemma Doyle trilogy so I could give it away here. The set includes trade paperbacks of A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels and a hardcover of The Sweet Far Thing. One lucky winner will get all three!!

Here's what you have to do: Comment on this post and tell me about a recent book you read that you loved for one entry. My first 10 entrants automatically get one extra entry. For two extra entries, post about this contest on your blog (sidebar is fine), on a social networking site or book lovers forum (LibraryThing, RandomBuzzers, Book Divas, etc.) and tell me that you did. Open internationally, please indicate international shipping on your entry.

I would LOVE to win this set! Thanks for the generous giveaway my dear! I haven't read anything I've loved lately how sad. The last one I absolutely loved was one you did too. Hunger Games! I'm going to twitter this for you. my twitter names is bookroomreviews. Ill be backthanks!Tracybookroomreviews@hotmail.com

Sadly, I've been doing so little reading for pleasure recently I feel like I can't remember a new book I've just loved. I read the first two Midnighters books by Scott Westerfeld this summer -- its a great YA series. The third, Blue Noon, just came out but I haven't had the chance to read it yet.

I just finished reading Where am I Wearing? this weekend and it was an amazing look at the people who work in the garment and textile industries in foreign countries. It's nonfiction, but more interesting than most nonfiction I have read this year.

I haven't read any of the Gemma Doyle books, but I read about them on amazon and they sound great!akreese (at) hotmail (dot) com

Congrats on your 20,000 visit! That is amazing. This is another great contest too. I recently read The Hunger Games and really liked it. I look forward to the rest of the series. I'm adding this to my blog. Thanks so much!

well my first choice for this year would be gaiman's "the graveyard book" and it's perfect, really, really good!but saw that alot of others recommended it also and since this would make your wishlist list shorter (we so don't want that :)) then i will add another name also maureen johnson's "girl at the sea", i'm half way through and it's very good.

Great giveaway! I'd rather say "Magdeburg" by Alan D. Altieri. It's a three-part book set in Germany during the seventeenth century. I think it's one of the most awesome historical novels I've ever read...

Please enter me in the contest. Thanks. By the way, I'm an international reader -- I'm from Italy, you know...

I read the first book in this series but would love to read the next two! One of the best books I read this year would be The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Similar genre to these books, I also read Sisters of Misery by Megan Kelley Hall which was really good too, and I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out next year.

This is an awesome giveaway! A book that I recently read and loved was A Practical Guide to Dragon Riding. I love books like that. Please enter me into this contest! I have blogged about this giveaway here: http://writesalot.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/awesome-giveaway/ and I also posted about this giveaway on RandomBuzzers here: http://www.randombuzzers.com/forums/?view=posts&forum_id=7&post_id=80333#post_80333

The last book I read that I truly loved was The Darkest Kiss by Gena Showalter but I most recently read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson and Changeling by Delia Sherman and I enjoyed them both alot too.

Great giveaway, I haven't read any of the books in this series yet (although I want to very much). The latest book I read and loved was The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society- so deserving of 5 stars!Thanks for the chance.

"In the Shadow of Lions" by Ginger Garrett was the first book I read that lead me into my love of historical fiction and this was a great book!!!The 3 you have listed, I have not read a one of them...so perfect and I love books in a series!!Such a kind giveaway!Thank you,Darbydarbyscloset at yahoo dot com

The books look great! I just finished The Kayla Chronicles about a girl who tires out for a dance team at school thinking she won't be picked & she and her friend can write about how they only pick a certain type of girl..except she gets chosen and her feminist friend resents her.

A book that I recently read and loved was "Stealing Heaven" by Elizabeth Scott. You can find the review I did for that on my blog as well.I blogged about this contest with the Penguin's Publisher's Choice one here:http://c-alexis.livejournal.com/28572.htmlPlease enter me in the giveaway. Thanks. =)

I'd LOVE to win this set! What a fabulous giveaway! I've read a lot of really good books this year, but I'd like to plug WHAT I SAW AND HOW I LIED by Judy Blundell. It just won the National Book Award. It is soooo good!geebee.reads AT gmail DOT com

This sounds like a great set of books. Thanks for the giveaway. I recently finished a book about pre-conquest England: A Hollow Crown by Helen Hollick, and immediately ordered and started reading its sequel, Harold the King.
